Chapter 52: 52 - New Battle Royal?
As SHIELD worked crazily and Minecraft players finally rested, Alex started looking at Minecraft sales.
[Minecraft]
[19,200,000 Games Sold - $384,000,000]
[Average Time Played: 6 Hours.]
[Peak Concurrent Players: 14,051,165]
[Total Earned on Sold Servers: $1,120,143]
[Total Earned in VIPs: $61,510,275]
The smile on Alex\'s face was huge.
"I\'m rich!" He squealed happily while bouncing in the same spot.
With a quick account made in his head, Alex saw that with the sales of Minecraft alone he already had 1.92 million Gaming Points, and with VIPs this figure rises to more than 2 million Gaming Points.
"With this amount of GP I can finally make a Triple A game without worrying about the quality, I can even add several features that didn\'t exist in the original games to surprise the audience even more!" Alex said as he thought through the possibilities.
"Although to make a game as great as I am imagining, I will need a lot of time. Even with System\'s help to speed up the process, to implement more practical and innovative things for users I will need a lot of research and a lot of testing... " Alex realized it wouldn\'t be that simple.
His goal was to make an open world MMORPG game. And not just a game like that, but also making this world so complete that players could treat this other world like a second life!
The main factor that encouraged Alex to do this was something he had seen a few days ago.
[Time Dilation: 10% = 1,000,000 GP]
Initially Alex was confused to see this feature, but when he saw the description of it he was shocked!
10% time dilation means that while in the real world 100 minutes pass, in the game world 110 minutes pass! That\'s 10% more time!
If he bought 1,000% time dilation, 1 hour in the real world would be 10 hours in the game world!
As long as a person played 12 hours a day while sleeping, the game would take 5 full days! This would practically be an amplification of the lives of people on earth, as they would have a total of 132 hours a day!
Even if the person was not interested in the game, that person would want to enter the world to study, rest or do various other activities!
For people who had to work every day, this would be the equivalent of working for a day and resting for 5 days in the game, a dream life for anyone.
Alex was very excited about this idea, of course, he didn\'t have enough money for a 1,000% time dilation, at most he could start with 10 or 20% as time dilation was very expensive, but in the future he was confident of increase that time dilation and virtually provide eternal life for players!
"For now I need to study this game better, but as Minecraft has already reached a peak in sales, I can use part of my free time to develop a simpler game. After all, since Minecraft can already be independent, I can use these GP to invest in another game that will bring me more profit." Alex said thoughtfully.
The MMORPG idea was very ambitious, this was something he wouldn\'t be able to do in a few days, so to have another game in his portfolio Alex opened the game development program and started developing the next game.
Alex saw that many players liked Hunger Games on Hypixel, but as the chests were always in the same position and the only thing players could do was grab chests and hit each other, the graphics showed that this was the first mini-game that 90 % of Hypixel players played when they joined the server, but 70% of those players stopped playing this mini-game after 3 rounds.
From this data, Alex deduced that the Battle Royal mode was a very popular idea among gamers, but since Hunger Games didn\'t have a lot of variety, people were disappointed and stopped playing after a few rounds.
"With this demand for Battle Royal I have some game options I can make to supply these people…" Alex said with his hand on his chin.
In his previous world there were 4 games that dominated this mode.
The first game was Fortnite, which was very successful in first world countries, as it was a game with a heavier graphics and you needed a good computer to be able to build faster.
Fortnite\'s buildings are a great differentiator of the game that add a lot to the variation of gameplay, as it\'s something that players need to learn to become more competitive.
The second game was PUBG, which was very famous among people who had difficulty building, in addition to having very realistic physics for shots and for the characters, which gave the game a more serious tone for the players.
The third game was Apex Legends, which had a big difference because each character had different abilities that made the gameplay unique.
Finally, there is Free Fire, which was a Chinese game for cell phones with a weaker graphic that was very successful among underdeveloped countries where the population did not have the money to buy powerful computers to play other games.
Looking at the four alternatives, Alex had no doubt what game he would make for this world, after all, disregarding the limitations players had in his previous world, there was only one game that provided exactly what Alex wanted. his players feel.
"With a Battle Royal game I can earn money by selling Skins and Battle Pass… hehe, this can even be more profitable than Minecraft." Alex chuckled at the thought of how much money players would spend on the game he was going to make!
